Ska
band Madness will be performing here on Friday 25
September, live after an evening race meeting, as part of their Grandslam tour.
Our Managing Director, David Roberts, said “I am delighted we will be welcoming Madness to the racecourse later
this year. Madness will be the biggest act to perform at the racecourse, and
this serves as testament to how successful previous live music evenings have been
for Wolverhampton Racecourse and the wider Arena Racing Company group.”
Best
known for chart topping hits such as “Baggy Trousers”, “House of Fun”, “One
Step Beyond” and “It Must Be Love”, to name but a few, Madness have achieved
international recognition as one of the greatest Ska bands of all time.
Since
their rise to prominence in the early 1980’s, Madness, lead always by ‘Suggs’,
have sold out arenas, headlined festivals and picked up an array of top musical
accolades. The band has achieved fifteen UK top ten singles and two UK number
one albums.
Most
recently the band released the “One Step Beyond – 35th Anniversary”
album and will be touring the country throughout 2015.
The
concert will take place after racing on Friday 25 September in the Centre Course.
Anyone purchasing a ticket will get to enjoy a full race meeting followed by
the concert.
